More than half of adults are “open to experimenting sexually” with Artificial Intelligence (AI), a survey has revealed.
A survey of 25,000 adults by “AI-lationships” platform Joi AI revealed that 55 per cent of respondents were open to sexually experimenting with AI or find it a turn on.
The data shared by the platform further revealed that 45 per cent of participants found the idea of threesomes with their partner and an AI “third” hot, while 61 per cent admitted to feeling more comfortable sharing their sexual desires with AI than with another person.
Furthermore, 61 per cent said AI helped them discover kinks or sexual interests they didn’t know they had.
However, concerns remain around the use of AI for sexual gratification. Most recently, X was widely condemned for allowing Grok to digitally undress people without their consent and generate sexualised images of children at users’ request.
Amid the criticism, Musk stated on 3 January anyone who was using Grok to “make illegal content” would “suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content”.
X’s official Safety account subsequently shared a statement, which read: “We take action against illegal content on X, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary.
“Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content,” it added, echoing Musk’s own post from a day earlier.
Additionally, AI has increasingly been linked to the spread of misinformation and the reinforcement of online bias.
